Peculiar Charge of Perjury

Yesterday G. M. Lane, formerly editor
OF the Anti-ProhibitiOnist, but now
deputy state health officer under DR..
Rutherford, made an affidavit In Justice
McAllister's court against ID. $. Lamb
kin, charging that he committed per-
jury In swearing at Orange, Texas, that
he had not been In the infected districts
within twenty days, when In fact he
came from South or Central America In
the month OF July and within the pre-.
scribed time. Mr.. Lsmbkin was arrested
and released under s.. 600 bond. DIR. p.
w. Johns and Elias Edmonds being
bondsmen.
This is the same matter that DR..
Rutherford came here about when he
was arrested and fined for disorderly
conduct In the Two Brothers saloon.
Lane also wanted to have John Brady
arrested for obstructing him In the ex-
ecutiOn Of his duty but the
justice could see no reason for the de-
mand and declined to act. According to
Brady's account, Lane and Lsmbkin
were 10 his saloon, and as both had
taken enough Of spiritus frumenti, and
Lane seemed to be trying to make
Lambkin drunk, he refused to serve
them with more liquor, and advised
Lambkin to go home.
1t is said that there Is big bug under
the chip In this arrest, and that when
the chip is lifted, IL will smell badly.

ErmInIe Five Hundred Times.

NEW YORK, Sept. THE largest au-
dience that ever gathered In the Casino
was there last night at the five hun
dredth performance of "Erminie." The
boxes, orchestra balconies, galleries,
and even the space allotted to the cafe
under the roof Of the garden, were filled
full OF spectators, who stood twelve deep
In the aroades, and so dense
had the throng become at little
after O'Clock that Manager Rudolph
AronsOn told Wellington Hall to
stop selling admission tickets. Mr.. Will
son as Ravennes and Mr.. Smith as Ca
denax had been enthusiastically APP
plauded on their entrance with Wis
comte de Brissacs' wardrobe. Mr.. VIII
son had Haunted his Mosaic coat and
trousers and made little speech thank
ing the audience for their warm greeting
and he with his brother thief had sung
first verse Of their duo, telling what
jail birds they were, when the pungent
smell OF smoke, such as comes from fire
engines, began to be perceptible In all
parts OF the house. At first IL attract
ed but passing attention, but when II
became more pronounced, there was an
uneasy shifting Of seats, and some one
looking up saw thin blaze
floating down from the succeed dome.
The brilliant rays from the electric
chandeliers made the smoke seem darker,
and as II ourled downward sharp cry
from the upper gallery rang out ''Fire
fire" There was wild plunging noise
In the direction Of the cry, and the peo-
pie 10 the orchestra and boxes began to
gather up their wraps and start for
the doors. Their number swelled
with each second, until more than
half the house was on Its feet, with
white faces turned toward the exits and
a panic In plain sight. Meanwhile on
the stairways and lobby there had been
a jam Of frightened ones. Half dozen
women tainted at the first note OF alarm.
Mr.. Aronson had telephoned for q SQUAD
OF police, and before the big
audience had time to pack the
Hobbies and stairways, the police
reserve was on hand. With drawn clubs
they rushed to the exits at the top Of
the stairs and effectually stopped the on
rushing and panic stricken crowds. Or
der was soon restored, the greater por-
tion OF the audience returned to their
seats and the play continued without
further interruption. Nobody was hurt
seriously.

Administrator Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, Sept. THE Republi-

Cleveland, Ex-Speaker Randall and
Speaker Carlisle held long conference
at Oakvlew yesterday afternoon and

practically received the endorsement
OF the administration, an outline of
which measure contempIates the
abolition OF tobacco and fruit
brandy tax, the reduction OF customs
goods, and a large addition to the free

Secretary Fairchild, who was suddenly
summoned here by telegraph by the

posed bill will effect In the revenues.
No conclusion was reached, but the mat

a NEW FIRE ESCAPE.
a San Antonian Applies for n Patent
That VIII Save Life and
proDerty.

Properly
Mr.. James HOrnSy. an old resident 10
the city, who has long been employ ed
by L. +. Kerr, Rni now represents his
interests In the city, has Invented a new
fire escape that appears to be q positive
boon to the public and one that Is calcu-
lated to revolutioniZe the business, and
the model has been sent to Washington,
ID. c., In order that patent can be OBJ
tained for Ii. The Invention Is q simple
and effective one, and what is impOrt-
ant, IL 10 one that can be sold cheaply.
Ii consists mainly OF an appliance that
Is fixed at the top OF the buildings.
By the simple pulling OF wire,
wire rope ladder automatically
descends to the ground and Is held firm
ly there. By this means the inmates OF
. burning house can descend safely to
the ground. In hotels and other large
buildings several OF these fire escapes
can be scattered around the building and
their position indicated by special lights
In the corridors. On an alarm of fire
being raised the inmates Of the building,
as previously instructed, make for the
location Of the ladders, and descend In
safety, for the hotel clerk, or anyone In
the office, has only to touch a handle
near him, and all the fire escapes descend
quickly and are ready for use.
A LIGHT reporter examined the model
and finds that 1t Is an excellent contrIy-
ance that will ornament building and
at the same time may be the means OF
saving lives and valuable property, be-
cause after the inmates have escaped
from burning building, the fire escape
ladders becomes q valuable means OF
rendering the fire departments service
more efficient.
